This +value tells the FormSet how many forms were displayed so it can tell how +many forms it needs to clean and validate. You could use javascript to create +new forms on the client side, but they won't get validated unless you increment +the COUNT field appropriately. + +>>> data = { +... 'choices-COUNT': '1', # the number of forms rendered +... 'choices-0-choice': 'Calexico', +... 'choices-0-votes': '100', +... } + +We treat FormSet pretty much like we would treat a normal Form.
